Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island: the campers went on a not so fruitful treasure hunt. They were each given a unique hint to help them find a key to open a treasure hunt. Some had an easy time with the challenge, others struggled quite a bit. Devious Desiree hijacked her alliance's plans and stole precious belongings from Duke, Francis, and Percival, pinning it all on Gene. Man, were they mad. Harriett's usefulness kept getting to Wendell, who took his anger out on a rattlesnake. The triple threat was later chased by a mob of angry animals into the lake. In the end, Francis was the winner of immunity for the night, slashing Gene's only hope of staying on the island. He was booted off by a landslide. Now, we're down to the real last ten campers on the island. Who will be the next to go? Find out right now on Total. Drama. ISLAND!
The camera opens up on Chris, who is chilling on the beach with a fancy glass of lemonade. It cuts to Chris telling everyone about the treasure hunt in his pirate getup. The pieces of wood with the hints on them are shown in everyone's hands on the stage. Harriett is seen whistling the skunks out of their den and grabbing her key, while Annalise is seen failing to climb the tree multiple times. Desiree is shown snatching Duke's turnbuckle and stuffing it as well as a couple other things under Gene's blanket. Duke, Francis, and Percival are shown angry at Gene in the cabin while Desiree watches from the window. Wendell is then seen watching Harriett pass her challenge with ease before he throws the rattlesnake into the forest. Him, Desiree, and Annalise are then shown running from all the animals and jumping into the lake. Francis is shown getting his immunity pass from his chest, followed by Gene being voted off and leaving the island after his goodbye to Harriett. The camera cuts back to Chris, who finishes his intro. The opening then plays, and when it finishes, Harriett is seen in a tree with binoculars, staring at the confessional. Wendell enters it and shuts the door. As soon as he does, she rushes over and tips it over, causing him to scream as she runs away, ecstatic.
Harriett (Confessional): Gene got eliminated last challenge, which is very upsetting, but it's opened up lots of opportunities for me. Knowing that I won't have to worry about ruining our relationship in this competition is very calming. Also, I'm not certain, but I think Wendell has something to do with his elimination, so I've been tormenting him nonstop since the challenge.
Wendell (Confessional): Make it stop! I can't take it anymore!
Annalise (Confessional): Poor little Wendell. I almost feel bad for him.
Desiree (Confessional): Don't you just love it when someone else gets punished for what you do? No? Just me?
Francis (Confessional): To be in the final ten is crazy! Especially since my friends are still here with me!
Percival (Confessional): This is great. I mean, I'm nervous about being this far. Worried that people are gonna turn on me, you know?
Leslie (Confessional): Aw, yeah! I'm in the top ten! A million dollars, here I come!
Veronica (Confessional): I could've never imagined I would've made it this far at the beginning of the show. But you know what? I'm really proud of myself for all the growth I've done here.
Hellen (Confessional): The top ten, it's quite an honor to be here. Maybe if I win, Percival will finally notice me. Just kidding, of course!
Duke (Confessional): Of course the champ is in the final ten. Why would anyone expect less of the Dukester?
Chris walks over to the cabins with his megaphone in hand.
Chris: Attention campers! Come on out to hear about your next challenge, which, by the way, will be starting in ten minutes!
The campers all rush over, Wendell soaked and shivering while some of the others laugh at him.
Chris: Alright campers, today's challenge is gonna be a good one. I'm gonna give each of you ten of these fancy light up patches and some fancy foam dart guns. When you hit a patch with a dart, it'll light up to indicate that it's been hit. Your goal is to keep in the game the longest, which of course means outlasting the other ten campers. The patches can be placed anywhere on your person as long as it is visible for all to see. When you get hit on all ten patches, you're out, and you must go to the cabins and wait for the challenge to finish. Last man standing wins immunity, as well as whoever lands the most shots on other campers.
They grab their patches and place them all over themselves, varying in location. As they go to pick up the dart guns, they notice that there is no ammo in them or around them.
Francis: Chris? What gives?
Chris: Oh yeah, the darts. Funny thing about those, the only way to get darts is to fetch them from any one of three areas. The main lodge, the thousand foot cliff, and the boathouse. Of course, as soon as you get the darts you are free to blast whoever you want, even if they don't have any. Well then, that covers that. Good luck, dudes.
He blows an air horn and all the campers run off in separate directions. The camera then cuts to the boathouse, where Percival is poking his head in. He notices that no one is there and runs in. Upon entering, he is greeted with a barrel full of darts, which he grabs as many as he can before running out and towards the woods.
Percival (Confessional): I may be unfamiliar with these things, but I still know that as long as I stay hidden, no one will be able to shoot me.
He jumps into a bush and peeks out, noticing someone passing by. He loads the dart gun to the max, ten darts. He leaps up and, with a battle cry, fires at the other person, hitting one target and causing a beep noise as it lights up. The camera pans over to reveal Veronica, clearly dazed by what just happened. Percival goes to grab for more of his ammo, only to notice that it's missing.
Percival: What the!?
Veronica blasts him, hitting five of his targets, each beeping and lighting up, causing him to run off into the woods.
Veronica: Get back here!
Percival (Confessional): I don't get it? Who could've stolen my darts?
Hellen (Confessional): I don't like stealing and anything like that, but it's too risky to go to the ammo areas. I had to take what I could.
The camera cuts to the thousand foot cliff, with Francis, Harriett, and Desiree all standing around the ammo crates.
Harriett: This cliff ain't tall enough for the three of us.
Francis: Then I'd reckon we oughtta cut that number down.
Desiree: Agreed.
The three rush towards the crates, grabbing and filling their guns with darts before trying to fire at each other. Surprisingly, all of Harriett's patches remain unscathed while Desiree has three lit up and Francis has all of his lit up. Chris's voice comes booming over the loud speaker.
Chris: Yikes, looks like Francis is the first to flop. I wonder who's next? Oh, and by the way. The current lead with eight hits is Desiree!
Desiree snickers as she runs off and Harriett gives chase. Francis sulks and sighs, heading down to the cabins like the loser he is. The camera then cuts over to the main lodge, which is now an all out warzone between Duke, Leslie, Annalise, and Wendell.
Leslie: Yay! This is fun, guys!
Wendell: You're going down, freak!
Duke: Nobody calls the Dukester a freak!
Annalise: Guys! Not the hair!
As they continue to fire at each other, Annalise's last patch lights up and beeps.
Annalise: Come on!
Chris: Annalise! you're out! Off to the cabins with you.
She tries to leave the main lodge, though the other three have not stopped firing and she continues to be pelted by darts, causing her to run out. Just then, Hellen peeks through the window and fires at Duke several times, eliminating him before ducking down to hide.
Duke: Which one of you posers did that?
Chris: Duke, you know the deal. Go join the other losers.
He grunts and breaks the dart gun over his knee before leaving the lodge. Leslie then runs out the front and Wendell runs out the back. Hellen peeks back inside to see that everyone is now missing and ducks back down.
Hellen: Where could they have...
Percival: You stole my darts!
Hellen: Ah!
She fires at him multiple times, missing each shot as he smoothly dodges. Veronica then shows up and takes aim at her along with him.
Hellen: I didn't!
Percival: Oh, yes you did! I noticed something funny when Veronica chased me around the woods. You dropped your favorite pen right where my darts were. Not only that, but somehow you managed to swipe Veronica's on the way out!
Veronica: What's the deal, Hellen?
Hellen: I mean, it's just the game! We all have to go against each other now to win, right?
Veronica and Percival exchange an irritated glance before opening fire on Hellen, lighting up all of her patches. Just then, Desiree runs by and fires at Percival, hitting the rest of his patches before snickering some more and disappearing into the woods. Very soon after, Harriett emerges from a bush, looking for Desiree and running in the opposite direction.
Chris: Hellen, Percival. You guys are donezo! At this point, only five campers are still in the game. Desiree is still the hit leader with a whopping thirteen hits! Better pick up the pace guys!
Veronica: Oh man, what am I gonna do?
Percival: Here, take the rest of my darts! Make these shots count!
She smiles and grabs his darts before running into the woods. Percival then dusts himself off and heads to the cabin. Hellen mopes and follows soon after. The camera then cuts to Leslie, who is walking around in the woods, being very careful. She hears a noise and jumps in a tree to get a better look, before being eliminated by Harriett, who is in the same tree.
Leslie: Oh well, I tried!
She hops out of the tree and more darts suddenly fly from several directions, pelting Harriett and leaving her with one patch untouched. She jumps down and runs deeper into the woods.
Chris: Leslie is out, three more to go!
Leslie (Confessional): You can't win every challenge, but you can sure have fun competing in all of them!
Wendell is seen walking alone in the woods, looking around suspiciously. A dart flies past his face and he fires back at the direction it came from. No beep. He keeps walking and a pair of eyes light up in a bush behind him. Veronica pops up and attempts to fire at him, before being shot at numerous times by Desiree. All of her lights beep and she lowers her head in shame.
Chris: And there goes Veronica! Just down to three campers now!
Wendell aims at Desiree, who doesn't aim back.
Wendell: What's the matter with you? Aren't you gonna fire back at me?
Desiree: Why would I do that? I've already won in the hits department, you just need to eliminate Harriett and me and we'll both be immune tonight. Adoy!
Just then, Harriett rises up and fires at Desiree, hitting the last of her lights, to which she shrugs and Wendell runs off.
Harriett: Ha! Got you! Finally!
Desiree: Yeah, yeah. You got me.
Chris: Desiree is done for, which just leaves Wendell and Harriett! Who's gonna win? I'm on the edge of my seat.
Harriett is shown walking through the woods before hitting a clearing, where Wendell stands, aiming and ready.
Wendell: Just you and me.
Harriett: And by the looks of it, we each only have one hit left, weasel.
She aims at him as well and the two starts firing at each other and running through the clearing, dodging each shot. Harriett slides and reloads while Wendell hides behind a nearby tree to reload. As he turns around and aims again, he notices that Harriett is missing. She taps his shoulder and he jumps up and turns around. She fires at him, barely missing his last patch. The dart bounces off his chest and hits her, causing a beep and a light. The two blankly stare at each other for a second before Wendell starts to laugh hysterically.
Wendell: Oh my god! I can't believe that just happened! You literally just outed yourself!
Chris: Well, in an interesting turn of events, Wendell has won the challenge, giving him immunity for the night. And for the most hits, with a grand total of 26, Desiree wins immunity! I'll see all of you at the campfire tonight!
As Wendell continues to laugh, Harriett hits him upside the head with the dart gun, knocking him into the grass and walking out of the woods. The camera cuts to Desiree approaching Leslie and Francis with Hellen's journal in hand.
Desiree: Ahem, Leslie. Francis.
Leslie: Desiree? What do you want?
Francis: Yeah, I don't remember you ever wanting to talk to us before.
Desiree: Oh, come on you guys. We're like besties! Anyways, I know how much you two like Hellen, so I thought you may wanna see what she's been writing about the other campers while she's been here.
She hands them the journal, flipped to a specific page. They look at it curiously before they start to fume in anger.
Francis: She's writing notes about what we're bad at to help her win the contest!? That's not cool, and I am not shrimpish.
Leslie: Yeah! And I'm not too trusting of others at all!
Desiree smirks at the camera while Leslie says that part.
Desiree: I know, it's a real shame. I thought you guys would just love to see that. Anyway, I have to show the others, they need to know about this.
The other two nod, handing her the journal back before walking off in a huff. The camera the shows her walking up to Harriett and Duke, giving them the journal as well.
Duke: The champ is not a nincompoop! Oh, that girl is in for a world of hurt!
Harriett: How am I blinded by anger? All I do is pick on the weasel every now and again. The nerve of her.
Desiree struggles to keep her laughter to herself and the camera pans up to the sun in the sky. It fades to night, and the camera pans back down to the campers sitting near the campfire, most glaring at Hellen, who seems to be really nervous. Chris approaches them, whistling while holding a platter with nine marshmallows on it.
Chris: So campers, some of you did great today, and some flopped miserably. Looking at you Harriett.
She rolls her eyes as the host chuckles.
Chris: Obviously, eight of you are up for elimination tonight. If you don't get one of these marshmallows, you'll be forced to walk the dock of shame, catch the boat of losers, and never come back to the island. Ever! Wendell and Desiree, you two have immunity, which means you're safe.
He tosses marshmallows to them, Desiree catching hers and smiling proudly, while Wendell's lands in his lap.
Chris: As for the rest of you, the following campers are safe. Harriett...Annalise...Francis...Percival...Duke...and Leslie.
He tosses the marshmallows to them, causing Hellen to slightly panic while Veronica shuffles in her seat a little uncomfortably.
Percival (Confessional): Yeah, it's every man for themselves, but you don't need to use that as an excuse to play dirty.
Veronica (Confessional): I'm sorry, Hellen, but it had to be done.
Harriett (Confessional): You wanna keep tabs on us? Well, you can say by to your shot at the million.
Duke (Confessional): Nobody calls the champ a nincompoop and gets away with it!
Chris: Hellen, you totally betrayed your friends today. That's not cool dude. Veronica...you're safe.
He tosses the last marshmallow to Veronica, who happily catches it and eats it. Hellen gets up sadly from her seat.
Hellen: Guys, I'm sorry I stole some of your darts, but I-
Francis: That's all you're sorry about?
Leslie: What about your notes, Hellen? Huh?
Hellen: ...What notes?
Harriett: Oh, you know. You were writing down all of our weaknesses to help you in the later challenges.
Hellen: What? I never did that! Guys, please, you gotta believe me!
Duke: Save it, punk!
As the campers all glare at her in disappointment, she solemnly walks to the end of the dock before turning to face them again.
Hellen: Percival! I just want you to know that I-
The foghorn honks loudly and she winces from the noise.
Hellen: Ugh, never mind...
She gets on the boat and it sets off, carrying her out of sight and out of mind.
Desiree (Confessional): I should've been a bad guy a long time ago! This is fun!
The camera fades to black as she laughs maniacally in the confessional.
